The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

About

You play as an an anonymous mute man who has been locked up inside of a shed, who bears a strange tattoo on his arm. If you don't escape quickly enough, another hooded man will barge in and kill you. It's up to you to save yourself and figure out who you are and why you're wanted dead. Clues are scarce, and the threat of your would-be assassin is always on your heels. Start running.
